Ah, yes indirectly when it validates the data/gmlasconf.xml file against data/gmlasconf.xsd, 
since CPLValidateXML() uses libxml2 underneath to do that (it could actually have an 
alternate implementation using Xerces-C validation functionnalities.)

Same thing, OGR VRT, optionnaly, uses libxml2 to validate the .vrt file against its schema.

But minixml functionnality should be enough for WCS purposes, and libxml2 and Xerces-C 
remain optional dependencies.
